Acne Prone? Clear it Up!

According to the American Academy of Dermatology acne has become most commonly treated skin abnormality. What causes acne? If sebum flows faster than it can secret through the pores, a pimple arises. Acne is a skin disease commonly found and experienced  during adolescence. As a child goes through puberty they may have a breakout or two. Typical features of acne include: scaly red skin, blackheads and white heads, pimples, large papules and, possibly scarring.

Acne breakouts vary from person to person. Acne occurs mostly during adolescence, sometimes it continues into adulthood. In adolescence, acne is usually caused by an increase in androgens (male sex hormones) These hormones stimulate the production of keratin and sebum. For the most part, acne breakouts stop after one reaches their early twenties. There is no way to know the time it will take for acne to disappear.

Some people will carry acne well into their thirties, forties, and beyond. Acne vulgaris (or cystic acne) is a common human skin disease, characterized by areas of skin with seborrhea (scaly red skin), comedones (blackheads and white heads), pin heads, pustules (pimples), large papules and possibly scarring. Acne affects mostly skin with the densest population of sebaceous follicles; these areas include the face, the upper part of the chest, and the back. Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in other forms. The lesions are caused by changes in pilosebaceous units, skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland, changes that require androgen stimulation.

Factors that contribute to acne are, hormonal imbalance, oily skin, heredity, monthly menstrual cycles, nutritional deficiencies, stress, drug use, some skin products  and clogged pores.
